Morning, all!
I thought I'd crowdsource this question. 8+ hours of beating up on this and I
haven't found a good solution.
We have some software that processes the scanned pages of a book. They come to
me as TIFF and I am converting to JP2 in order to upload to the Internet
Archive. The

Not to pile on, but I think that while you might be able to do this on
some shared hosting, it will wind up being more hassle than its worth.
I would just get a low cost slice from Linode or Slicehost and roll
your own.
Bespoke managed hosting (which we offer) is not cheap, and the amount

Dave,
Thanks for the response... I tried this and it sort of works with a warning
about IPTC, but that's an effect of the data in the TIFF. Here's some results
of my experimentation and an example of what I've tried with exiftool.
exiftool -xmp test.tif -b xmp.xml
exiftool '-xmp=xmp.xml'
I agree with this sentiment. Do talk to your IT department. That's what they
are there for, after all. Right?
And I'm also of the mindset of do it right the first time. Budgets being what
they are, it's better to spend 20% more up front for a better system/product
than to go cheap and spend
Oops, should have read the other replies first. :)

Maybe I shouldn't be trolling code4lib for my personal interests, but I'm
asking not about a mission-critical application, but a platform for keeping
my personal skills up, and that would be accorded the proportionate amount
of time. So I'd rather that not be a time sink for management, and I

Hello, everyone...
The Falvey Library technology development team has just started a new blog for
writing brief technical articles about our work here at Villanova. I plan to
contribute VuFind-related posts whenever I encounter a technical problem
interesting enough to discuss at length.

We are beginning to plan a Code4Lib Midwest[0] held in Chicago this summer,
co-hosted by UIC and Dominican University.
The initial plan is a full day at DU on either Thursday or Friday, and then a

Second that.
It's a lot of effort and I daresay you'd learn a lot about many

Has anyone figured out the magic necessary for file to recognize MARC
files?
If you don't know it, file is a Unix command that tells you what kind of
file a file is. For example:
